SUICIDE.

Last Friday evening at o'clock oc-
CURED the most deliberate and sad case
OF suicide ever committed in this coun-
try. The victim was DR.. E. W. Hawk
ins, most exemplary man about thir-
ty years of age who deliberately shot
himself with 80 calibre pistol while
laying in bed with his wife and child
at the residence of his father-in-law,
Mr.. W. F. Pitzer. Medical aid was i'm
mediately summined but it was of NO
avail. Lying on the bed weltering in
his own blood the doctors found him
with bullet hole in his right temple,
struggling in intense agony, but un-
Conscious. The bullet had ploughed
through the poor fellows brain and It
was but short time It'll life was ex-

EXCHANGE GLEANINGS.

Kansas has a rich soil and royal
climate, but it is her brave, inteIli-
gent men and noble women that have
made her the grand state she is.
Kansas lies in the heart of the
United States, but no Kansan can lie
about Kansas. The solid truth is too
big mountain for a man to climb
over.
This is the festive season of the
country fair, when the big pumpkin
vies with the pretty country girl for
the attention of the crowd, and gets
left every time, world without end.
The Parsons Sun says one man in
the vicinity of Parsons has sixty acres
of corn that will yield 100. bushels to
the acre. One year ago the quarter
section, of which this is a part, was
sold for $1,000.
Wichita has a Chinese woman, the
wife of one of the leading Cinnamon
there. The Beacon says she is very
often beaten and abused by her coun-
trymen. She is thought to be the
only ChinawOman in Kansas.
A new farm is so easily made in
Kansas, and the work may be so
quickly done, that an eastern farmer
may dispose of his things there in
January, come to Kansas in Febru-
airy, and in March have a large field
broken for garden and field crops.
With a little energy and pluck, he
may not Lose single crop.

England is a great power. On the
wide stretch of her mighty empire

flags wave over all the waters of the

her Wellington. But let there be. no

past. Yesterday England evicted a
bed-ridden woman III Ireland. This
is the England of the present.

A Romantic Quartette.

Last Thursday Judge Ogle married
four young people in the grove east of
town, the names of the contracting
parties being George Clark, of King
man County, to Anna Shoemaker,
and Jacob Leighter, also of King
man County, to Hannah Shoemaker,
the ladies both being residents of this
city. The gentlemen were on their
way to their claims in Kingman and
had good outfits Of teams, wagons,
tents, etc. The ceremony was per-
formed under the blue canopy of
Heaven, by the Pickering camp fire,
while the gentle south winds whis-
pered through the trees where the
little birds had tucked their heads he

The blushing brides were arrayed in
purest white, while the bridegroom.
